One quibble with today's excellent editorial on the gamble of depending on gambling revenue.

Maybe it’s the ultimate irony that the state’s new economic blockbuster sits on the very hallowed ground where ships rolled off the Sun Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. on the Chester waterfront.



People still enter that luminous locale in search of their fortune.

 But they’re not going to work.

They’re going to gamble.

Actually, a lot of people ARE going to work. More than 1,000 people are employed by Harrah's, with 500 new jobs just created by table games. Ship building is definitely a more romantic calling than dealing cards and taking people's money but those jobs are gone. Better these jobs, than no jobs. Right?
